Sanpete sees large increase in home starts

Sanpete County is on track to have a record year for new home start-up construction. Permits issued for single family dwellings are set to increase by 20 percent in 2017 above the number in 2016, according to statistics kept by the Sanpete County Building Department. According to county officials, most construction is occurring from Mt Pleasant north: Fountain Green, Moroni, Fairview and Milburn. Most of the new permits are also for single family residences. But although home construction is spiking, there does not seem to be much of an increase in new business construction. Sanpete Messenger
